I just think of the trespassing thread, where the landowner knows a neighbor has been using his stand for god knows how long, and has yet to confront him, and I believe he also stated the land is no longer posted..........If this guy alters a stand, that he knew someone else was using, in any way that could be interpreted as a hazard he may be in for a lawsuit if something was to happen.
-
I wouldn't be so sure of that, under normal conditions you may be correct, but if someone deliberately creates a hazardous condition or "trap", it may be a whole other ball game............
-
I think using the meat or giving the meat to someone who will use it, should be everyone's top priority, regardless of why you chose to take that particular deer...........
-
A "meat hunter" is a term a hunter feels the need to use to describe himself, when he explains why it is he killed a certain deer that someone else doesn't approve of..............

this is a picture from the last deer I shot...I was 15 feet up and deer was about 5 yards from the bottom of my stand broadside....I aimed slightly under the chest........first try at posting a picture hope it works.
-
I think on a close shot you want to aim low......aim at the point you want the arrow to exit, not enter................I think this is what most people are saying, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
-
I never gave much thought to a treestand pin......good idea, I've always just compensated with my top pin with good results, but may try that next year.
-
interesting point, do both parties own the dividing line and have legal access to it and can it be used by either party? as long as he is any distance off the dividing line or right against it there is nothing that can be done, but what if it's a tree that falls directly on the line.
-
my guess is that she's pissed because you're still hunting, not that you haven't gotten a deer.........she misses you.
-
in my experience, on a real good fatal shot, they just usually make a mad dash without giving it much thought until they just crash.........on other hits that they have some time to get their wits back, but are hurt bad, they will head downhill.
-
were you aiming to have the arrow enter the front of the deer, like in front of the shoulder / neck area or was it more towards the side of the deer to have the arrow enter above the shoulder? if what I'm asking makes sense to you.
-
I have one pin that covers 10 & 20 yards.....if I'm shooting from the ground, it's dead on at 20 yards and an inch or two high at 10 yards.........if I am in a treestand, and the deer is broadside at 10 yards, I'll put the pin at the bottom of the chest........if closer, I may hold slighty under the deer.......that's what works for me.

last one I shot at about the same distance and height, I put my top pin at the bottom of the chest (broadside) and hit perfectly..........my top pin is good for 10-20 yards.
-
unless you had a way to positively identify who was on your property, it would be impossible for any of the agencies to really do anything other than speak to them at this point.........make sure the cop does go speak to them, then get the report showing he did so, and who he spoke to.........most cops are required to document every time they respond to a call and take some type of action.

"A person who enters or remains upon unimproved and apparently unused land, which is neither fenced nor otherwise enclosed in a manner designed to exclude intruders, does so with license and privilege unless notice against trespass is personally communicated to him by the owner of such land or other authorized person, or unless such notice is given by posting in a conspicuous manner." I would post the hell out of the property.............

very nice job....that's a tough area, you should be proud! -
that was the other impression I got from your post...I wouldn't want someone else treating me like a child either..........take that break and regroup.
-
ticks are a disgusting creature.....I've had good results treating my clothes with permethrin. I was a member of Deer search for a few years, and living on Long Island, my dogs would get covered every time we went out and I would spend hours trying to get them off my dogs and always missed a few...that was enough to make me give it up.

did you get a weight on him?

there's no doubt that there are some unions that don't do much for their members other than collect dues...........on the other hand, there are a few that help their members go leaps and and bounds ahead of some private sector jobs.....I belong to the second type of union and wouldn't be where I am without them. -
It's like a "No Littering" sign..........each time I see one, I can't help but wonder why we need such signs, do people really need to be told they can't throw their garbage on the ground?
-
take some time off and relax, especially if you've been missing deer and getting busted in the same spots...........let them air out for a week or so. If your gf's family is offering to let you hunt on their land, why not?
-
I have a tough time thinking that you would even have to tell somebody to stay off your property and out of your stands.......what is wrong with people?
